Tone, how to?
By Carole Barrie on 29 April 2024
Tone Session This is designed as an easier introduction to using weights that can be done at home, but still intended to tire, tone and strengthen muscles. Warm up for 3 to 5 mins first. Follow and repeat each session twice a week at most so you can fit around your usual weekly exercise. Leave at least 72 hours between these sessions to allow for your usual weekly exercise and also recovery. Vary session as required. with or without different weights. Give your body time to adapt, the purpose is tiring muscles and energising, not tiring, your body. Come back in later weeks to repeat or modify sessions to suit your body. Read More ...
Tone and Breathless, what is it about?
By Carole Barrie on 29 April 2024
New for the late spring and summer of 2024! I have been following a course that introduces weight and muscle tone and stengthening into my personal training.

Healthy Pelvis
By Carole Barrie on 19 May 2022
This week I started 6 month training Whole Body Pelvic Health with Claire Sparrow. Having issues myself of stress leaks since post menopause, it frequently feels more embarassing as a Pilates teacher. This week I listened to a talk about the affect of scar tissue from birth trauma or any injury or operation around Pelvic girdle including hip replacement and prostate issues. Light Bulb! How can you expect you Pelvic muscles to snap into action if they are restricted and tight an being pulled by scar tissue? How can training these muscles to be stronger be effective until they are lengthened and released? In my pilates classes we already cover a lot of movement that helps but I have starting giving my Pelvis a bit more love adding more regular stretching and breathing in some of those positions that are more uncomfortable for me. And bonus, you get to try out all the lovely things I learn. Some helpful info to get you started from Anna Crowle a specialist pelvic health physiotherapist. https://www.annacrowle.co.uk/the-science-bit/ Read More ...
